Spiders studio is back with The Technomancer, a new post-apocalyptic RPG set in a cyberpunk world for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC set on Mars during the War of Water, where an aspiring Technomancer faces a myriad of questions as his future grows threatened by the secrets of his past.

Technomancers are "mage-warriors", who harness, thanks to an innate talent, destructive electrical-based powers, amplified by their cybernetic implants. Both respected and feared by all, they are fearsome warriors trained from a young age to fight. You are one of them, about to finally pass your initiation rite to become a fully-fledged Technomancer.

An RPG, The Technomancer will offer players action-oriented combat gameplay along four different skill trees, focusing on 3 different fighting styles and the destructive electric-focused powers of the Technomancers. But all situations aren't necessarily to be dealt with brute strength, with dynamic conversation dialogue playing a deep role in quests, changing the story depending on the decisions you make. Craft equipment, weapons and armor for yourself and for the companions you'll recruit along your adventure, nurturing relationships with them.

On the run from the Secret Police and confronted by the harsh realities of the Red Planet, you must undertake a quest that takes you through forgotten paradises, cities lost under the ice, and dystopian shanties sprawled across Mars' dusty embrace.

Faced with the cruelty of Mars' iron-fist enforcers and alien wild-life, can you survive long enough to uncover the truth behind The Technomancer?

TaleWorlds Entertainment has today launched a major update to the Viking Conquest DLC, released for Mount & Blade: Warband in December of last year, entitled "Reforged Edition". In both name and spirit, this represents a revival for the DLC, rewarding fans for their loyalty with a long list of new features. All Viking Conquest owners are receiving this update for free and all new copies of Viking Conquest are sold with the update included.

Among the key features of the DLC is a brand new storyline, "The Last Tuatha De Danann", taking place in dark, mysterious Ireland. Players are expected to fall in love with the new canine companions that can be befriended and will be faithful to their master, even in battle! New Berserker troops add a new dimension to battling, with their terrifying strength to be feared by friend and foe alike...

To continue their momentum, Hi-Rez Studios will be at gamescom August 5 - 9th to show off SMITE on both PC and Xbox One. The Studio will also unveil a new, soon-to-be announced game, allowing attendees to be among the very first to play this surprising new title at Booth A-051 in Hall 9. Also at gamescom, Hi-Rez Studios will host the SMITE Pro League Fall Kickoff featuring Fnatic and Titan on the ESL main stage on Friday, August 7, from 10:00 to 13:00 CEST. From 13:00 to 14:00 CEST, Hi-Rez will stream a live showmatch of its new game. Both match-ups will be broadcast at twitch.tv/smitegame.

To celebrate this epic community milestone, Hi-Rez Studios is reviving the original Hercules character model from SMITE’s early PC beta days as an all-new “Retro Herc” skin on both PC and Xbox One. Anyone who wins 10 PvP matches in August will unlock Hercules as a playable god, along with the Hercules retro skin and a new Hercules voice pack featuring Kevin Sorbo, the star of TV’s Hercules: The Legendary Journeys – all for free. Hi-Rez Studios revealed the promotion today in a new video, featuring Sorbo, who has a special message for the internet.

Mitch here, with just enough bandwidth to pull my head out of polishing the game to let you know that Shadowrun: Hong Kong has an official release date! During the Kickstarter, we estimated that we would release the game in August… and that’s why we’re releasing the game in August!

August 20th, 2015 at 10am PST, to be specific. On Steam, GoG, & Humble.

Estimating, scheduling and delivering something as complex as SR:HK is tough and I’m extremely proud of the entire team for their focus, dedication, and hard work. I’d like to say a special thank you to our ace Producer, Chris Klimecky and my co-Director, Mike McCain for their work in getting the game to you on time. Mike joined me at the helm a ways back so I could dedicate more time to writing, and his work has been first rate - just like it was on Shadowrun: Dragonfall and Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director’s Cut.

The game’s really coming together and it’s amazing to see the team’s hard work and creative collaboration on-screen. Making games is an incredible challenge but making games with these folks is an absolute pleasure.

We’ll be sending out another update in the next couple of weeks regarding how to get your keys from BackerKit and an update on all the remaining Kickstarter rewards.

In the meantime, here’s a few new screenshots & gifs we grabbed for you. Thanks for staying with us since January and we’ll see you August 20th!

The new demon hunting action-RPG Victor Vran officially releases today. After just five months in Early Access, Victor Vran is released with amazing 94% user approval from the Steam Community. The game won the hearts of the players with its action packed combat dynamics, where dodging and jumping mean the difference between life and death.

Victor Vran features four player coop gameplay, a class-less gear-based character progression system, dozens of secrets, over 400 different challenges and dynamic difficulty personalization. The game was created with replayability in mind and promises many hours of pure fun on top of the 20-hour story campaign.

This time, the terror has followed you home.

In this last chapter of the Five Nights at Freddy's original story, you must once again defend yourself against Freddy Fazbear, Chica, Bonnie, Foxy, and even worse things that lurk in the shadows. Playing as a child whose role is yet unknown, you must safeguard yourself until 6am by watching the doors, as well as warding off unwanted creatures that may venture into your closet or onto the bed behind you.

You have only a flashlight to protect yourself. It will scare away things that may be creeping at the far end of the hallways, but be careful, and listen. If something has crept too close, then shining lights in its eyes will be your end.
